Actually it is Jim Moran's boat. He owns Southeast Toyota. They practically gave him the franchise originally before Toyota really took off. After gaining popularity in the US, Toyota tried to acquire all of there distributorships back. JM would sell. Multi Billionaire!!

he lives in Hillsboro, Florida and keeps the ship in the Virgin Islands area in the winter. I see it down there every winter.

Moran seems like a pretty good guy to his people. One of his businesses was a client of mine and his campus in FL is consistently rated as one of the best places in the country to work. They have onsite cleaners, barbers, gym, pool, all sorts of stuff. They also have Christmas parties on one of the Gallant Ladies :drink:

"rising sun" is larry ellison's yacht. it's actually 452'9" built by lurssen werft in germany. designed by martin francis

post #5 is "northern light", a 46-meter Feadship owned by a Swede and with a very classic interior design by John Munford, and "Passion", a 53-meter Swedeship which was completely refitted recently in Spain following a string of incidents including being dropped on her side while she was being put back in water from drydock.

Rumour has it that Clapton has purchased another yacht, a 156' Kees Cornelissen called "Va Bene"...

BTW, that Chesney yacht looks like a Sea Ray.

I've seen the boat but never met them before. We would try to sneak down to tickles whenever we could for lunch.

Willy T, now theres some pictures I need to find... took a 26 twin V over there in 10-12 ft seas one day, probably best time I had down there. Well that and every time we went to Woody's.

Sean 05-02-2006 11:00 AM

Re: Big Uns
 
tim and julie are great people...if you see them, tell them sean & leslie said hello. we got married on their boat.

the willy t was fun too...but zeus wasnt there and there was a wierd crowd the night we were there. i think it is a better daytime place...

where's tickles?

jtmiller02 05-02-2006 11:07 AM

Re: Big Uns
 
tickles is the bar/resteraunt at crown bay marina, Willy T i've only gone to during the day

I'm back in the states now, atleast till the end of summer, once cold weather arrives back here again I might find my way back down there. Next time I won't be doing parasail tho, too much stress for the winter, most captains down there have cake jobs and we ran around stressed and working like maniacs all the time. Summer is enough stress for me.

You forgot to mention the masseuss'. I had a friend who went to Deerfield and worked there for a while. Right before he got the job, he met a girl. Couldn't handle the long distance relationship so he came back.

I will find my pics from St. Tropez in 2002 and post.

Paul Allen's "Tatoosh" and the original yacht built for Mrs. Dodge the "Saravona" at 400 ft was the worlds largest private yacht for many years. It is now owned by a Turkish businessman.
